Kym Marsh has revealed she's starting to feel like her "old self" again following her split from fiance Dan Hooper earlier this year

The 'Coronation Street' actress was left devastated earlier this year after splitting from fiance Dan Hooper but after throwing herself into work and spending time with her friends and family, including kids David, Emilie, and Polly, she is slowly getting over her heartbreak.

She said: "I'm feeling in a really good mood as work is going really well and all my children are happy.

"I feel like I'm getting back to my old self after what has been a pretty hard year.

"I've been spending more time with my parents, my kids, and my friends and it's just been brilliant for me to do that, as we're all so close - I'm in a really good place now."

Kym also confessed that she finds working out helps improve her mood.

She added to OK! magazine: "The gym is good for my head as well as my body - I'm feeling great at the moment and a lot of that is because I'm back exercising regularly.

"I've been trying to do three sessions a week with my trainers and I'm totally on it now. I must be, as they told me to eat smoked salmon and scrambled eggs when I got back from the gym one morning last week and I did - and I don't even like smoked salmon."
